The Scorpions are unbeaten at home so far this season and host a Comets side who have beaten Peterborough 57-33 and Glasgow 56-33 in their last two away meetings.

That means the Scorpions are likely to have their work cut out against a Comets side who have brought in Tero Aarnio, who scored a paid 16 points last week for Newcastle, and former Scorpion Nike Lunna for the unavailable Dan Bewley and Bradley Wilson-Dean.

Meanwhile the Scorpions have Kyle Howarth guesting for the injured Steve Worrall.

But promoter Rob Godfrey has enough belief in his team that he feels they can take a win against a Comets side who are riding the crest of a wave at the moment.

“It is absolutely our toughest test, but as I’ve said before I believe in the seven riders we have and that we have enough to see off Workington,” Godfrey told the Telegraph.
